Answer 1

Firefox takes hashes of various page parameters (mainly URL segments) and passes them back as part of Google's SafeBrowsing scheme. It cannot readily identify parameters or other information that you pass to the target - it's just used to check against a list of known attack domains.

As per these instructions, you can turn SafeBrowse off:

Firefox button > Options > Options (or Tools > Options) > Security, un-check both "Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web forgeries"
